City of Reno wins prestigious budget award

The Downtown River Run was hosted Sunday, April 14, in downtown Reno. The race ran from the Reno Arch to the end of Fourth Street near the Patagonia Outlet Store and the back along Idlewild Park and the Riverwalk. 5k, 10k, and junior 1-mile races were by more than 1,200 participants.

The city of Reno's Office of Management and Budget has been recognized with the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the current budget from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada. The award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting, according to the GFOA.

Office of Management and Budget director Kate Thomas, who oversees the department, received a certificate of recognition. Thomas and her team were honored on March 12 at a Reno City Council meeting.

"This is not the first time our Office of Management and Budget has won the award," City Manager Andrew Clinger said in a statement. "Not only is the budget department doing a fantastic job of fiscal planning currently, they're doing it on a consistent basis."

The city also won the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011.

To receive the award, the Office of Management and Budget was required to fulfill nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. The guidelines assess how well an entity's budget serves as: a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device. Budget documents had to be rated "proficient" in all four categories.
